Information Regarding the Demand for
Ancient Pieces of Money.
1.-THE coins most in demand said a
dealer in that business, "are, as they
ought to be, the American. | don't
mean the recent coinage only" he
added, with smile, for that's in de-
mand by every body, but the old and
rare ones that collectors are after. 1t
is the same everywhere. The old coins
Of every country are most in demand in
that country Next to American. Greek
and Roman coins are in demand"
The eye of the reporter happened to
strike papal ''lira, with the tiara and
counterfeit presentment of Plus TX.
Are those much called for?" he
asked.
mo, the public are well supplied
with them. A religious demand, did
you say? No; l don't think ever sold
one to any one who wanted it on the
score of religion. The papal crowns
are, however, in considerable demand
at high prices, on account of the his
torical scenes usually commemorated
on them. 1t is singular that when a
kingdom OF other sovereignty goes out
of existence, as did the Papal States,
the increase in the demand for the coin
age is hardly noticeable. 1t is different
when new State comes into existence.
Now we are unable to supply the de-
mand for Bulgarian coins"
"Who are coin collectors, usuallyP"
They may be found in all conditions
and pursuits of life. Sometimes poor
workman takes it into mis- head to have
collection. 1t is safe investment. as
the coins are not likely TO depreciate
in value"

A singular thing about her is that she

She says it would not be patriotic"
''How does Confederate money go?"

EvAPORATlNG APPLES.
Information Sent Out by the National Dc
partment of Agriculture.

Information Sent Out by the National De-
partment of Agriculture.
In reply to questions sent out by the
National Department of agriculture the
following items regarding dried or
evaporated apples have been evolved:
Acid apples with white flesh make the
best product. In large establishments
the apples are prepared for the evap-
orator by machines which pare, core
and slice the apples in one operation.
Hand-prepared fruit is not divided into
such neat and uniform pieces or rings,
hence does not dry as uniformly or
present as attractive an appearance.
Some of the manufacturers place the
apples when they come from the parer
into solution of salt and water, one
pint of salt to ten gallons of water.
This is thought to cut the gum on the
fruit and clean it, also to prevent fer
mentation and aid in bleaching.
Bleaching is done by exposing the
fruit in wooden box or special ma
chine to the action of sulphur fumes,
Apples when cut and exposed to the air
discolor quickly. and this bleaching
brings back the natural color The
sooner the bleaching is done after the
fruit is cut the better Caution is given
against overwhelming the fruit and
causing it both to taste and smell Of
sulphur.
From different drying establishments
come different reports as to the heat of
the evaporation. Answers included from
ninety-five to over two hundred degrees
T. Fresh fruit will stand two hundred
and fifty degrees T. without burning.
With an evaporator full the fruit must
remain in from two to five hours, accord
ing to the heat in the evaporator 1t is
estimated that one bushel Of apples will
make from five TO seven pounds of dried
fruit.-M Y. Worid,

POSTAGE STAMPS.
How They Are Engraved, Printed, Per
fOrated and Packed.

How They Are Engraved, Printed, Per-
forated and Packed.
In printing steel plates are used, on
which two hundred stamps are en-
graved. Two men are kept at work
covering them with the colored inks
and passing them to man and girl,
who are equally busy at printing them
with large, rolling hand presses. Three
of these little squads are employed all
the time, although ten presses can be
put into use in case of necessity. After
the small sheets of paper upon which
the two hundred stamps are engraved
have dried enough they are sent into
another room and gummed. The gum
used for this purpose is u peculiar
composition made of the powder of
potatoes and other vegetables, mixed
with water, which is better than
any othey material, for instance,
gum-arabic, which cracks the paper
badly. This paper is also of a
peculiar texture, somewhat similar to
that of bank notes. After having again
been dried, this time on little racks
which are famed by steam-power for
about an hour, they are put in between
sheets of pasteboard and pressed in hy-
draulic presses capable of applying a
weight of two thousand tons. The
next thing is to cut the sheets in halves,
each sheet, of course, when cut con-
tains hundred stamps. They are
then passed to two ether squads. who;
in as many operations, perforate the
sheets between the stamps. Next, they
are pressed once more, and then packed
and labeled and stored away in another
room, preparatory to being put in mail
bags for dispatching to fill orders. II
u single stamp is torn or in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet of one hun
bred is burned. Five hundred thousand
are burned every week from this cause.
For the past twenty years not single
sheet has been lost, such care has been
taken in counting them. During the
progress of manufacturing the sheets
ar" counted eleven times. Cor. Chicago

THE DIFFERENCE,

A man 'steals" butter, cheese, ham, eggs,
Or any vulgar merchandise;
Whose lays violent hands upon
My poem, does but "plagiarize."
fhe boy "steals" who to his own use
His neighbors dime appropriates;
The man who captures in cold cash
A million, say, but 'defalcates."
The poor wretch is a ''thief'' who takes
From out my coop lean old hen;
But let him jump his bonds and break
A bank, It's but 'embezzling," then.
The mother steals a loaf of bread
To still her babies starving cries,
And DER her weary, stricken head
The shadows of Jail arise.
Jay Gould, with one stroke Of his pen,
Wrecks fortunes in a dozen States,
Makes hundreds homeless-but. you see,
The great man only operates"
The brassy youth, like Mr.. Ives,
Who fails for Millions takes the chance
OF Sing Sing, and is called to-day
''The Young Napoleon of Finance"
1t makes heap of difference
Upon what scale you do the job;
Whether you yank railroad, or
With petty theft but pick a fob.
'Tss true, It's pity It's the man
Who's pretty sure to come to grief
And get himself behind the bars
is not the big, but little thief.
